At the heart of Shannon and Desiree’s practice as therapists and supervisors is a commitment to customizing sessions to meet the unique needs, personality traits, and readiness for change of each individual they work with. They understand that every client is different, and therefore, their approach is not one-size-fits-all. Instead, they take the time to get to know each person, building a therapeutic relationship that fosters trust and openness. This personalized approach allows them to tailor interventions and strategies that resonate with each client’s circumstances and aspirations.
Intuitive and Compassionate Therapeutic Style
Shannon and Desiree’s therapeutic style is characterized by its intuitive nature, blending directness with gentleness. They create a space that is not only non-judgmental but also playful and educational, which encourages clients to explore their thoughts and feelings freely. While they provide caring support, they also challenge clients to step outside of their comfort zones, promoting personal growth and facilitating lasting change. Their areas of focus encompass a range of common issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and the journey toward becoming your best, whole self. Through collaborative dialogue and evidence-based practices, they empower clients to develop the tools and resilience needed to navigate life’s challenges.
AAMFT Approved Supervision
As AAMFT Approved Supervisors, Shannon and Desiree are dedicated to nurturing the next generation of therapists. Their supervisory approach emphasizes collaboration, ethical practice, and professional development. They work diligently with each supervisee to cultivate the skills necessary to become ethical, responsible, and competent therapists. In this supportive environment, supervisees are encouraged to engage in ongoing education, empathize with clients, and hold safe space for their healing and growth.
Together, they will prepare for the AAMFTRB exam, guiding you through the complexities of the process while exploring the challenges that may arise along the way. Their goal is to empower you to feel confident and competent in your practice, equipped with the knowledge and skills to make a meaningful impact in the lives of your clients.
Case Consultation for Practicing Clinicians
In addition to individual supervision, Shannon and Desiree offer case consultation for practicing clinicians who wish to explore their cases from a more systemic perspective. This collaborative approach allows clinicians to delve deeper into the intricacies of their clients’ issues, examining the relational dynamics at play and developing comprehensive treatment plans. By facilitating rich discussions around cases, they help clinicians broaden their perspectives and enhance their therapeutic effectiveness.
